I think index version bumps require a documentation update and also a
binutils patch.

IIUC, the version bump is part of the workaround for the gold bug,
right?  The idea being that gold will generate version 7 indices,
causing gdb to take the "inclusion" path.  (I'm just trying to make sure
I understand what is going on.)

To me it doesn't seem arguable, but I'm curious to know what the case is
for it not being a gold bug.

If follow_die_sig can be called when one TU refers to another TU, then
it seems like the TU could have a non-empty 'imported_symtabs', meaning
that the loop here should also iterate over TUs.
